This year, students in the 9th grade are collecting dimes and quarters for a school fundraiser. They are trying to collect more money than the students who were in the 9th grade last year. The students in 9th grade last year collected$143.88.

Using to represent the number of dimes collected and to represent the number of quarters, which statement best represents this situation?

This year's 9th graders wanted to make MORE than last years 9th graders. this means that we will use the greater than sign, not the greater than or equal to sign. Now we can cross out the first two. we are now left with the bottom two equations. quarters are 25 cents and dimes are 10 cents, knowing that q = quarters and d = dimes we know where to put the variables. 0.25q stands for 25 cents times however many quarters, this is the same with 0.1d. This is why the answer is D and not C. It wouldn't make sense for it to be .1q because quarters do not equal 10 cents. hope this makes sense.

The inequality that represents the situation is required.

The inequality will be D. [tex]0.1d+0.25q>143.88[/tex]

The number of dimes is d

The number of quarters is q

Converting to dollars

1 dime = $0.10

1 quarter = $0.25

The amount of money raised in dollars will be

[tex]0.25q+0.1d[/tex]

The amount raised should be greater than $143.88 which means [tex]>143.88[/tex]

So, the inequality will be D. [tex]0.25q+0.1d>143.88[/tex]
